Exegesis
The offerings befar ben-baqar {בְּפַ֧ר בֶּן־בָּקָ֛ר | bəpar ben-bāqār} ‘with a young bull’ and veeylim shivah {וְאֵילִ֥ם שִׁבְעָ֖ה | wəʾêlîm šiḇʿāh} ‘and seven rams’ present the entry requirement, and vehayah kohen {וְהָיָ֥ה כֹהֵ֖ן | wəhāyāh kōhēn} states the resulting status.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:9
Is it not so that you drove away the priests of the LORD —the sons of Aaron and the Levites—and made priests for yourselves like the peoples of the lands? Everyone who comes to consecrate his hand with a young bull and seven rams becomes a priest for what are not gods.
